Warning spoilers will be ahead:
I am writing this review while I watch the episode on my DVR so that I can pause and add my thoughts as needed.
This review is my personal thoughts of the episode I am not a professional writer or reviewer just a fan doing this for fun. Disclaimer I am biased to the show a bit due to the fact that I am already a fan of the show’s host Alton Brown.
